The Dodgers have been a streaky team to start 2019, and they came into today’s game on the upswing, riding a five-game winning streak. Today’s contest was a close-fought affair, with pitching taking over for most of it, but Enrique Hernandez broke it open against relief ace Josh Hader in the 8th and the pen hung on for a 5-3 victory.

Things did not start well for Ross Stripling, as he surrendered a ground-ball single to Lorenzo Cain and then immediately gave up a dong to Christian Yelich, allowing him to take the MLB-lead in homers over Cody Bellinger as well as putting the Dodgers down 2-0.
